Hi students!
The major reason of one who doesn't want to move forward is the "fear of failure." You can't learn something new and while learning you don't make some mistakes. It's not possible. Rather, our generation is afraid to give it a try.
If I may shock you, the discovery of #web3 has been accompanied with losses, setbacks, discouragements etc yet it has gone this far; why? Because "a step" to change things was taken.
Right from my nursery till primary school, I was always the top in my class until I got into secondary school where I met brains who were far better than me. This made me feel like I don't know anything at all, I'm just a starter. Yay! Initially, I was a comfortable environment with no competition until I met a new phase that demanded more work or more commitment.
What If I Fail?
If one doesn't fail, that means he hasn't tried something new making him stunted in growth. Before a baby is able to walk, he falls and stands severally before his bones get strengthened to walk , then run, to the extent of jumping too. Can you see the processes - from walking to jumping? Let's imagine the baby fell down while learning to walk but refused to stand up; will he be able to walk? Absolutely no! There's a need to try, try and try again.
Likewise in our academics as a student, failing a course is not the end of the road; you are the only one that ends the journey by giving up. If you can trace the history of the great mathematicians and physicists, most of them were the dumbest in their class yet they are well-known across the globe.
Action Plan
Which course is making me lose my confidence that I'm not enough - tackle it! The way you read different courses in school isn't even. Sometimes you need to spend more energy on one more than the other because that could probably be your weakness. It's high time you convert your weakness to strengthen by putting more effort.
Let me leave you with this:
Ye who runs from a fight will live to fight it another day. So, fight it NOW!
